Scrum Master

St. Louis, MO candidates only.

This is a hybrid role.

Their job is to ensure teams consistently deliver high-quality software, remove obstacles that slow teams down, coach teams, Product Owners, and leadership on how to work effectively in Agile at scale (SAFe), make work, progress, risks, and results highly visible and measurable, and drive continuous improvement, not just “run ceremonies”

Ensure work flows smoothly from idea ? production

Mentor Product Owners (especially backlog quality and prioritization)

Own sprint, release, and flow metrics

Translate metrics into actionable improvements

Maintain an improvement backlog and ensure changes actually stick

Prepare teams for PI Planning and ART events

Support Agile adoption across multiple teams

Partner closely with leadership and other Scrum Masters

Provide insights on delivery risks and organizational improvement
